Our Reach

Our Programs

Pop-Up Community Events

Our Pop-Up Community Events bring Scholar Readiness directly into neighborhoods, schools, and public spaces. These events offer interactive activities that inspire learning, encourage goal-setting, and promote personal growth. By meeting people where they are, we create welcoming spaces where community members can explore their aspirations and discover practical steps to achieve them.

Application Accelerator

The Application Accelerator is a five-course program designed to equip students with the skills and confidence to secure internships and early career opportunities. Participants learn how to identify and pursue the right opportunities, craft compelling resumes and CVs, write effective cold emails, complete standout applications, and excel in interviews. By the end of the program, students leave with a polished professional toolkit — and the knowledge to use it successfully.

SAT/ACT Crash Course

Our SAT/ACT Crash Course helps students choose the test that best fits their strengths — and prepares them to succeed on it. The program includes focused sessions on SAT English, SAT Math, ACT English, and ACT Math, giving participants targeted strategies, practice, and tips for each section. By understanding the format, timing, and question styles of both exams, students can make an informed choice and walk into test day with confidence.

NYC Opportunities

NYC Opportunities is a free resource connecting students to over 400 programs, internships, scholarships, and events across New York City. Updated regularly on our Instagram page, this curated collection makes it easy for students to discover and apply for opportunities that match their interests and goals. Whether you’re looking for academic enrichment, career experience, or community involvement, NYC Opportunities helps you find your next step.

Testimonals

Dear Scholar Readiness, Thank you for offering such a great opportunity to help students learn better. The class design and content are superb, and students feel very much inspired by your enthusiasm! I especially appreciate mentors adjusting the delivery manner into a more language-learning-friendly setting, which is very considerate and caring!

At first, I thought it was just about taking an online class with foreign students. However, when l found out that we needed to open the mic and speak, l felt a little bit nervous. During the first two online classes, l was always praying not to be picked. After two classes, l finally felt relaxed. It’s really a good opportunity to join it!

Scholar Readiness has been an invaluable resource for students seeking guidance on their educational journey. The peer mentoring approach creates a supportive environment where students learn essential study and life skills while gaining the confidence to pursue their passions. The organization’s commitment to helping students succeed in high school and build a foundation for long-term success is truly inspiring. I’ve seen how Scholar Readiness empowers students to take control of their future, and I’m grateful for the positive impact they are making in our community.
